Right now, all I can do is offer help to the Elmer tree keepers (er, Profile Managers?) including DNA if they want it. I guess I am not a true genealogist if all I have is anecdotal. Is getting a GEDCOM crucial to my being allowed to edit? I have several worthwhile things to offer, but my dad (b. 1901) didn't source anything!!!! I am sure I would have to rein in my sense of humor to be allowed to edit. For now, your help page on GEDCOM is meaningless to me - no disrespect I promise. Please help.

You absolutely do not need to make a gedcom to add your memories to WikiTree. Gedcoms are created by people who use genealogy software. Just put in your family members and their stories.
